Great kit bash project. The engine and headers really look the business. Nice work on the chassis mods. I can really see what you mean by the scale issues between the two rear axels. The diff lump on the '66 axel may be a bit large, but I think passable. However, the axel tubes do look over scale. I'm not trying to make extra work for you, but the axel tubes seem to throw off some of the fine work being done to the chassis. Just sayin'. It will be awesome either way.

Coming along nicely, Ismael. Good luck with the hood hinge.

Cool subject matter, and very interesting kit. Looking good so far, David.

I also keep an Excel spread sheet to keep track of my stash inventory. For simple lists, Excel is pretty easy to figure out.

Beautiful Triumph. Very authentic details and finishing. It must be impressive to view in person. Lovely model.

Nice looking Chevelle. I just love that shade of blue. What paint is that?

Nice B. Looks good in blue. I built one of these a couple years back, and quite liked the kit. I had to lower mine as well.

Sweet 36! Nice looking cruiser.

Welcome to the forum, Ken. Some beautiful models posted by Bob. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers.

Nice build. Kudos on getting the kids involved. Great times, for sure.

Cool coupe! Very nice work

Stellar Vette! Beautiful work on this one Ryan. It looks absolutely wicked in that silky smooth black paint. The engine detailing is very finely done, and the overall stance is just plain mean. I love it! Please don't change out those wheels.

Beautiful Ferrari. Nice, clean work. The blue looks great, and goes very well with the interior colour.

Good looking GT-40. Nice work. I really liked this livery.

Nice work, Allan. That does the trick.

Great looking wrecker. I really dig this build. A very cool Autocar.

Cool Mustang. Looks great in blue. I've got to pick up one of these when they hit the shelf.

Very cool Boss, Mario. Nice work.

Very clever model. Interesting construction.

Cool. Nice parts-box build. Neat trick with the Lego headlights.

Wow! That looks awesome! Thanks for that. I have a black 70 Torino GT that I built years ago, Good looking car, but not happy with the finish so I want to repaint it someday. It also has a white interior, for which I used Testors flat white. That interior colour has bothered me ever since. Seeing yours now, the interior of my Torino will be getting repainted, too. The TS-7 looks perfect.

haha that reminds me of a story; The rigging shop was forever disposing of steel cable (wire rope) when it is out of date. When I was an apprentice, my work-buddy was getting into off-roading and needed some tow cable. A little dumpster diving turned up over 100' of 3/8" wire rope. Before leaving work that day, he got a couple of us to wrap the cable around his mid-section, over which he wore his winter parka, so he could smuggle it out the gate. My buddy was a pretty big guy and a smoker, and lived within walking distance of work, at the top of a pretty steep hill. I walked home with him to give him a hand, and it's a good thing I did. Half way up the hill he started breathing heavy, and soon started to struggle. The wraps of cable were constricting his chest, and the rhythm of breathing was causing a ratcheting action of the cable whereby he could exhale but not inhale. By the time he realised he was in trouble, he couldn't speak. I saw his struggle, but didn't understand at first. He was trying to flail off his parka in an absolute panic, now unable to breath. Suddenly I realised what was happening, pulled off his coat and started frantically unwrapping the cable from his chest before he passed out. Poor bugger nearly died right there on the street.

I spent most of my working career in a Navy dockyard. The tooling and equipment tossed in the dumpster over the years could make a man cry. Sometimes, brand new stuff. Including, on one occasion, two pallets packed full with NOS Coventry Climax engine parts. And, if one bit of it was found being carried out through the gate, the Military Police would have a field day with you.

Wild! I have not seen this rig before. That will make a fun project.

Congrats on a fine modelling space. Cool project, too. I am always interested in seeing the Fujimi Enthusiast kits go together.
